CloudSign expands verification content in local governments and begins demonstration experiment of "CloudSign for Microsoft Teams"

SB Technology Corp. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Chikaichi Shinichi Ata) has jointly developed and provided a cloud service with Bengo4.com, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Yosuke Uchida). We are pleased to announce that a demonstration experiment for "Sign for Microsoft Teams" will begin in Morimachi, Kayabe District, Hokkaido (town mayor: Kosuke Okashima). This is the first demonstration experiment of "CloudSign for Microsoft Teams" in a local government.

Due to efforts during the coronavirus pandemic and changes in residents' lifestyles and demographic structure, the burden and workload of staff members responding to these efforts is increasing. On the other hand, the shortage of staff has become apparent, and there is an urgent need to improve staff work efficiency and DX.

Bengo4.com established the Digital Government Support Office in the CloudSign Business Headquarters in 2020, and has continued to consider the operation of CloudSign together with government agencies. Additionally, through demonstration experiments with a number of government agencies, we have confirmed that the system has the same effects as private companies, such as improving business efficiency and productivity through electronic and paperless contracts. With such a track record, local governments have begun implementing electronic contracts in 2021.

Morimachi has been implementing advanced initiatives using ICT, such as introducing Microsoft's Office 365 in 2014 to improve operational efficiency. In this demonstration experiment, in addition to verifying the efficiency of electronic contract operations using conventional Cloud Sign, we will also conduct a simulation of the introduction of "Cloud Sign for Microsoft Teams."

"CloudSign for Microsoft Teams" developed by SB Technology is a collaborative application that allows you to seamlessly conclude contracts using CloudSign and manage concluded contracts on Microsoft Teams. By improving the convenience of users who use both CloudSign and Microsoft Teams, we will achieve further operational efficiency.

◼︎About “Cloud Sign for Microsoft Teams”
"CloudSign for Microsoft Teams" is a collaborative application that allows you to seamlessly conclude a contract using CloudSign and manage already concluded contracts on Microsoft Teams. After adjusting and confirming the contract details on Microsoft Teams, you can send the contract using cloud signature. The status of contract completion/rejection will be notified to Microsoft Teams chat, and the concluded contract will be automatically imported to Microsoft Teams' document sharing and management tool "Microsoft SharePoint". Collaboration between these Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams features and CloudSign enables centralized management of contract information.
